Woman reports suspicious visitor

A 76-year-old Dundee Township woman called police after a suspicious visitor claimed he worked for the county and that he was interested in possibly removing trees off her Brewer Rd. property, a task that deputies said was not likely.

The man left after the woman asked him several times to produce identification and he never did. Reports said every time she asked him for ID, the man changed the subject. After he left, the potential victim noticed things may have been moved around inside her house but nothing appeared missing.

The incident happened around 4:45 p.m. Wednesday when the suspect approached the woman and said he needed information about her property lines. The man was not in uniform and did not have a visible identification badge.

When the man asked the woman to get her husband, she immediately became suspicious and began questioning him. He eventually left. The woman told deputies she believed the man was trying to get her away from her house.

The man was described as Hispanic, about 30 with a thin build and average height. He was driving a white, full-sized pickup truck. Deputies report that people in a white vehicle were seen approaching homes in the Dundee area and were trying to determine whether the incidents are related.
